A lil while ago I lost a great love of my life
Thought that lovin someone again wouldn't eva be right
I locked my heart and threw away the key
And promised to never let another get that close to me
Blamed myself cause I didn't see any of the signs
When they gave me your final letter thought I was gonna lose my mind
900 some days have passed and still can't let you go
Baby boy I'm missin you like $hit, but there's sumthin you need to know

I've found someone else and he's made me smile again
Still no one will ever take the place you have in my heart, you were my best friend
You were my light in the dark, my heat in the cold
My peace in a noisy room, that hand I could neva fold
You quenched my dying thirst with your rain
When I was hurt, only you knew my pain

So even though I'm letting you go, it's only to set both of us free
And even though my tears have stopped, doesn't mean my heart don't bleed
But baby boy, I deserve to be happy, to smile once again
So smile for me papi, still my first love, always my best friend

soooo true.....me and my first love just broke up and I'm feeling like maybe moving on wont be so hard. I can do it after reading this and realizing that everybody has pains, mine ain't no bigger or beter. Nice write...I loved reading it.

i really like the flow and the positive energy of it...
to understand that when you love..even tho not "in" love..you still love
is so true to me...so your last lines absolutely took me out...
nice...
thanks
